You can set the client encoding to latin1 to make the database convert the strings for you. Read also chapter 20.2. Character Set Support of the server documentation about the different options for setting the client encoding. By the way SQL_ASCII is not a clientencoding in that sens but the lack of any encoding at the server side (The server can not do most of the transformations possible with other encodings). So the client is fully responsible for the encoding (which is critical in a lot of applications, especially when different clients have to be supported). Regards Ivo Am Freitag, 4.
